Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 155 You are making it difficult for me
Prices were cheap at that time, but not to the point where one dollar would buy hundreds of kilograms of watermelon.

Bai Houping was worthy of being a branch secretary. He squinted his eyes and shook the one dollar note in his hand, and he immediately discovered the problem.

The crowd was speechless for a while.

They couldn't help but look at each other again.

"What happened to a bag of watermelon?"

Guo Shuisheng is also an old man and has not panicked at all. "When it is full, it weighs hundreds of kilograms; when it is not full, it weighs less than fifty kilograms."

"Although I didn't make an appointment with the scale at that time, I have been a technician for so many years. Do I have that little bit of vision?"

“Isn’t it normal to buy dozens of kilograms of watermelon for one dollar?”

Now, it was Bai Houping's turn to be speechless.

Unexpectedly, they mobilized a large number of troops and took the leadership team to the field to interrogate Wang Chengzhou at noon, but it ended in an anticlimax.

Not only did he fail to do so, he was also robbed of a meal.

Where should I put my face as the secretary of the brigade?
"Humph!"

Bai Houping threw the dollar to Guo Shuisheng again and said seriously:
"Lao Guo, the watermelons produced in the fields are pretty much the same every year, so there are a lot of them."

"As a technician hired by our Wangjiacun, you must ensure that the watermelons are not only produced well but also profitable."

"Otherwise, if something goes wrong when the Autumn Harvest accounting is reconciled, don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

It seemed like a warning.

Obviously, the leader was very angry because there was no evidence for Lao Guotou's sale of Wang Chengzhou's watermelons at a low price.

"Secretary Bai, that's what you said."

Guo Shuisheng felt something in his heart and quickly promised:
"When did our old Mr. Guo have any problems with his work?"

"Don't worry, even if the King of Heaven comes, we won't give up. It should be an extra pound, but it is an extra pound."

"Even Wang Chengzhou is the same!"

That's true, but it's a bit interesting.

Everyone started laughing.

"Huh, you're the best!"

Bai Houping glanced at Wang Chengzhou and waved his hand, "Let's all disperse."

"Harvesting wheat is very hard. We don't mean to delay everyone's eating time. It is really a matter of principle and there is no room for sloppiness."

"No one can compromise on matters concerning collective interests!"

Everyone laughed together and dispersed.

It was indeed getting late.

The scorching sun was in the sky, the shade of the trees on the ground stretched straight to the north, the sound of cicadas could be heard, and the crops were dazzlingly white.

Normally, everyone would probably have had lunch.

If it weren't for Wang Chengzhou, who would be willing to waste time in the fields at noon?

Unexpectedly, just as I was cursing, another group of people came to the path in the distance.

Standing in the bright sun and wading in the hot sand, I felt like an ascetic.

Party secretary Bai Houping was about to leave. When he saw this, he let out a light sigh, stopped, put up an awning with his hands, and took a look.

Everyone couldn't help but stop, feeling very strange.

It's dinner time, and they haven't eaten yet, so why are there people from other villages running into the fields in the bright sun?
"Wang Chengzhou, is Comrade Wang Chengzhou here?"

"Ouch, it hurts me so much! Is Comrade Wang Chengzhou still in the field?"

"Comrade Wang Chengzhou, help!"

This familiar scene made everyone more and more curious.

There were a few sharp-eyed people who saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

I couldn't help but exclaimed:

"He is a member of Yanggao Village!"

"It's noon and you're not at home to eat, so why are you going to the fields to look for Wang Chengzhou?"

"Is it possible that you are here to seek medical advice?"

As he spoke, a group of people came closer.

Seeing their appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing.

I finally figured out what was going on.

The faces of those who came from Yanggao Village were the same as those of the young wives in the morning. They were all swollen and bright in the sun, like the rearview mirror of a car.

Some of them were so serious that they could not control the salivation at the corners of their mouths.

It looks very miserable, but also a little funny.

"Oh, Secretary Bai is here too!"

"Zhishu Bai, you are here just in time. Let Comrade Wang Chengzhou treat our illness!"

"On this hot day, I endured the pain on my face and cut wheat all morning, and I almost want to die!"

Bai Houping was stunned.

I counted with my fingers, there were seven people coming, both men and women.

Except for the two children, the rest are all strong laborers.

Unable to help it, my heart sank and my face turned ugly.

"What's the matter with you all?"

“It’s the time of wheat harvest, why are they all like this?”

"Is this, swollen cheeks?"

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the party secretary of the brigade, he would probably be scolded.

grinned and said:

"It's swollen cheeks!"

"Secretary Bai, we don't want to end up like this!"

"Damn, my face hurts and itches, and I don't even dare to twist my neck. If we weren't afraid of delaying the afternoon work, could we come to Comrade Wang Chengzhou at noon in the bright sun?" After hearing this, Bai Houping thought in his heart The head is getting more and more anxious.

He knew that swollen cheeks were an infectious disease. Even if you got it, you would get it. It would take a few days and you would be cured.

But when is it now?
Busy day in barley!

If it spreads, most of the members will lose their ability to work, and the summer harvest will be over.
When the time comes, seeing that the ripe wheat cannot be brought back, affecting the livelihood of the people, he, the leader of the production team, must not be criticized?

When he thought of this, Bai Houping became impatient and said angrily:

"What's the point of coming to Wang Chengzhou with swollen cheeks?"

"That thing can only wait for it to heal itself!"

"Isn't there a health worker in Yanggao Village? Why don't you ask Wang Jianguo to prescribe some medicine for you?"

Being interrogated by him all the time, several patients in Yanggao Village were very agitated and had to endure it to avoid having an attack.

After hearing what he said, I couldn't help but stamp my feet and said:

"Bai Zhishu, if the medicine prescribed by Wang Jianguo works, why are we still here?"

"You don't need to tell me, we also know the urgency of summer harvest. If we really can't hold on, who would want to miss work?"

"In the morning, we met the health worker Chen Weihong, and he told us personally that Comrade Wang Chengzhou can treat swollen cheeks, and that's why we came here!"

Party secretary Bai Houping's eyes widened when he heard this, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Bai Zhishu, it's true!"

At this moment, those melon-eating crowds became energetic again and even endured their hunger:

"In the morning, someone in our village also had swollen cheeks!"

"If Wang Chengzhou hadn't used the magic elixir, do you think we could have completed our morning's work so quickly?"

"I have to say, you guys from Yanggao Village are quite smart and know that we have experts in Wangjia Village!"

The young wives who came out in the morning came out with their faces raised, making a few people take a look.

One morning passed, and after Wang Chengzhou's treatment, the swelling was significantly reduced.

Seeing them blinking their eyes, tilting half of their faces, but looking full of energy, the patients in Yanggao Village couldn't be more happy.

There is hope!
Immediately, he no longer cared about those who were party secretaries or not, and immediately surrounded Wang Chengzhou.

Seeing their miserable appearance, Wang Chengzhou felt very sympathetic.

However, when I took out the small bottle of watermelon frost, I couldn't help but sigh.

Loudly:
"Guys, don't worry!"

"We are all fellow villagers in the same brigade. Even if we don't eat today, I will help you heal."

"But, I only have so much medicine left. I guess it may not be enough for so many of you."

"You guys should discuss how to distribute it specifically!"

When the patients in Yanggao Village heard this, they immediately panicked.

The two younger children were about to cry on the spot:

"No, Divine Doctor Wang, you can't do this!"

"Why is there not enough medicine? Aren't you making things difficult for us?"

"It's just that adults have to work, and it's distressing to have children who are sick. It's not good to leave anyone behind!"

Not only them, but also the young and old men in Wangjiacun began to worry.

After learning that Wang Chengzhou could cure mumps, Bai Houping became even more anxious. He took a step forward and his tone changed, "Chengzhou, what kind of medicine are you talking about?"

"They are all members of our brigade. If you can treat them, just try to treat them as much as possible!"

"If the medicine is not enough, we can buy it again. By the way, where did you buy this medicine?"

Wang Chengzhou sighed and shook his head, "I made this medicine myself."

"We can't buy it in Pushan Township."

"I just don't know if there are any in the county, but even if there are, I'm afraid I won't be able to get that many for a while."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

"What?!"

Bai Houping even screamed in surprise, spitting out foam, "You can also make medicine?"

"How is this medicine made?"

"Why not make more?"

Wang Chengzhou glanced at him and said calmly:
"Made from watermelon."

"As for why we don't make more, that's a good idea."

"I spent one yuan to buy those watermelons. How do you want me to make more?"

Bai Houping choked suddenly.

This is true, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.

After working on it for a long time, I am waiting for myself here...

Looking at Secretary Bai with an embarrassed look on his face, everyone couldn't hold back their laughter but choked out.

I have to say, the scene was really funny.

Just now, someone had said righteously that no one should be exempted from this, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to slap himself in the face.

As members of the production team fell ill one after another, without treatment, the wheat harvest would be delayed.

How could Bai Houping not be anxious?
Not to mention slapping himself in the face, if he could really control the mumps and ensure the fighting ability of the members, he would be happy to stick out his face and let Wang Chengzhou slap him.

So, he mumbled something and said in a low voice:
"Chengzhou, is this medicine really made from watermelon?"

"You, are you kidding me?"

"Watermelon can also be used as medicinal material?"

Wang Chengzhou sighed and raised his chin, "Bai Zhishu, in the current situation, is it necessary for me to lie to you?"

"If watermelon frost is not made from watermelon, what else can it be made from?"

"For the health of all members, a small village health worker can only do so much, and I feel helpless!"
